Sam Kerr has equaled Chelsea’s Women’s Super League all-time goal record after scoring twice in the Blues’ 4-1 victory over Everton on Sunday, April 26, 2026.
The Australian striker opened the scoring just six minutes into the match at Kingsmeadow, giving Chelsea an early lead before Everton equalized shortly after. Kerr then restored Chelsea’s advantage with a well-taken second goal that sparked a Blues comeback as they extended their lead to 4-1.
Kerr’s second goal was particularly significant as it brought her level with Fran Kirby’s all-time WSL record of 63 goals for Chelsea. The 32-year-old forward has now scored 63 goals in the Women’s Super League since joining the club in 2020.
The victory helped Sonia Bompastor’s side close the gap on league leaders Manchester City to six points in the WSL table. Chelsea entered the match looking to maintain pressure on the top of the table after a strong start to the 2025-26 season.
According to her official playing record, Kerr has made 90 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions since her arrival, scoring 61 goals prior to this match. Her two goals against Everton brought her total to 63 for the club in WSL competition.
The Australian international has been a consistent goal threat for Chelsea since joining from Chicago Red Stars in 2020. She previously won the WSL Golden Boot in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons and has represented Australia 139 times, scoring 75 international goals.
Kerr’s performance against Everton continued her recent influential form for Chelsea. The striker has been instrumental in the Blues’ attacking play throughout the season, using her speed and tenacity to create scoring opportunities.
The win over Everton marked an vital step in Chelsea’s title challenge as they aim to overhaul Manchester City at the summit of the WSL table. With six games remaining in the season, every point is crucial in the tightly contested race for the championship.
Looking ahead, Chelsea will seek to build on this victory as they prepare for their next WSL fixture. The team will aim to maintain their momentum in the pursuit of both domestic silverware and continued success in European competition.
